6=0 HOMEOSTÉTICA VIDEO

SYNOPSIS

A feature documentary about the not-likely-legendary contemporary art group known as the ultimate post-paradoxological art statement: The Homeostetica Movement. Appearing in the Lisbon art scene in 1981, the Homeostética group was formed by six young artists: Pedro Proença, Manuel Vieira, Pedro Portugal, Xana, Ivo and Fernando Brito. Provocative and irreverent, the Homeostética produced wildly versatile work steeped in such varied influences as pop music, comic strips and film animation. From 1982 to 1986, the Homeostética organized five group shows, wrote manifestos, made super 8 films and were a visible and uncomfortable presence in the local art scene.
